Students \(A, B\) and \(C\) measure the length of a room using a \(25~\text{m}\) long measuring tape of least count \((\mathrm{LC})~0.5~\text{cm}\), a meter-scale of \((\mathrm{LC})~0.1~\text{cm}\) and a foot-scale of \((\mathrm{LC})~0.05~\text{cm}\), respectively. If the specified length of the room is \(9.5~\text{m},\) then which of the following students will report the lowest relative error in the measured length?
1. Student \(A\)
2. Student \(B\)
3. Student \(C\)
4. Both students \(B\) and \(C\)

The length of a rod, when measured once using a scale, has an absolute error of \(\Delta l \) – due to eye-estimation by the experimenter. This error may be considered to be small and random, with an equal probability to be positive as well as negative. If the experiment is repeated \(100\) times, and the average is taken, the error in the average will be:
1. \(\Delta l\)
2. \(\Large\frac{\Delta l}{10}\)
3. \(10\Delta l\)
4. \(100\Delta l\)
